Truth and Freedom

05/19/2019

Anybody genuinely concerned with the idea of truth, with deepening
humanity's understanding of itself, nature and society, with encouraging the
deployment of reason in order to render the world more knowable, ought to have
a natural and in fact quite fierce disposition to freedom of thought and
speech. The two go hand in hand. Actually, the one - truth - is reliant on the
other - freedom. This point has been consistently argued by liberals throughout
the modern period.
